There is hereby established, pursuant to Chapter 291, P.L. 1975, in the Township of Eagleswood a Land Use Board of nine members, consisting of the following classes:
A.

E. 
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-23.1, the Mayor shall appoint four alternate members to the Land Use Board, who shall meet the qualifications for Class IV members. The four alternate members shall be designated at the time of appointment as "Alternate No. 1," "Alternate No. 2," "Alternate No. 3" and "Alternate No. 4." The terms of the alternate members shall be for two years; since four alternate members will be appointed, the term of not more than two alternate members shall expire in any one year; and provided further that in no instance shall the terms of the alternate members first appointed exceed two years. A vacancy occurring otherwise than by expiration shall be filled by the Mayor for the unexpired term only. Alternate members may participate in discussion of the proceedings but may not vote except in the absence or disqualification of a regular member. In the event that a choice must be made as to which alternate member is to vote, Alternate No. 1 shall be the first to vote and then the alternates thereafter, based upon their designation, as needed.
